New York Liberty take on Chicago Sky today, and New York Liberty enter this game as Eastern Conference frontrunners. Last season they finished atop the East and have continued their strong play into 2025. Liberty were 22-13, having only lost 11 conference matches, and they have dominated opponents in score by a significant difference as well. They are led in scoring by point guard Sabrina Ionescu, who contributes approximately 19 points per contest, and center Jonquel Jones, who contributes around 15-16 points as well as strong rebounding.
New York was 5-5 in the last 10 (through mid-August) but still tops the East and owns 86.4 points per game on offense and is one of the highest-scoring teams in that category. They also boast depth: veteran Betnijah Laney and Courtney Vandersloot (when healthy) can fill the stat sheet. However, they have recent injury concerns – star forward Breanna Stewart is sidelined with a leg injury – which may impact their roster rotation. Still, the Liberty play at home and have won both season meetings against Chicago so far (by comfortable margins, e.g. 85-66 in June).
Chicago Sky, in contrast, are struggling mightily. The Sky are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a record as poor as 8-26. They have dropped nine of their last ten games, averaging only 71.9 points in that stretch while allowing 84.9. Their young roster is still searching for consistency.

Our New York Liberty vs Chicago Sky Prediction
The Sky rely on star Angel Reese, a dominant forward who is averaging double-doubles (around 14 points and 12 rebounds per game) and is among the league’s leading rebounders. They also have veteran sharpshooter Kahleah Copper (2021 Finals MVP), but she has had an up-and-down season.
Key guard Courtney Vandersloot, who often orchestrates Chicago’s offense, is out for the season with an ACL injury, which leaves a void. Other contributors include Rachel Banham, who has been a reliable outside shooter. Chicago’s defense has been porous (opponents shooting over 42%), so their main hope is to keep pace in transition and hope their shooters catch fire.
It’s clear the Liberty are formidable at home and Chicago is in a slump. For New York, Ionescu and Jones are performing as expected – Ionescu’s leadership and shooting will be critical, while Jones will control the paint.
Chicago’s Reese will be a force on the boards, but the Sky lack inside help and the firepower of New York’s balanced attack. For the second half, New York’s bench (players like Tina Charles or Sabrina Erivo, depending on lineup) can step up if needed, whereas Chicago’s depth is less consistent.
Ultimately, this matchup strongly favors the Liberty. New York’s superior offense and home-court edge should overwhelm Chicago’s struggling defense. The neutral prediction is a Liberty victory by a comfortable margin, as they look to maintain their unbeaten mark this season against the Sky. It’s likely to be a high-scoring game for New York, with Chicago fighting hard on Reese’s and Copper’s efforts, but New York should win handily. Our prediction for New York Liberty vs. Chicago Sky: Over 164.5 points.
